Way up at the top of the list of things I hoped to shoot in SA was one of these. Incredibly lucky as an Air Zimbabwe pilot's strike ended a couple of days before. Seen here departing for Bulawayo, this is one of three - apparently China made a 'buy two get one free' deal. Of these, Z-WPJ was seriously damaged after collision with five warthogs during take-off at HRE on 3.11.09 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
